FLOWER FESTIVAL.
Annual Meeting and Election Of
Officers.

The annual meeting of the Flower
Festival Society took place in the par
lors of the Woman's Exchange Building
on Fourth street. President Mrs. R. M
Widney in the chair. After an opening
prayer by Mrs. Gibson, Secretary Mrs,
Fette read her report, which briefly re.
cites the history of the society from the
beginning in 1885. The first floral fes-
tival was held in 1885 and resulted in a
profit of $1,000, with which the lot on
which the building now stands was pur-
chased. The society then had 200 mem.
bers. and in November of that year a
curio exhibition was given which, ow.
ing to poor weather, only netted $500,
and this amount together with $500 do.
mated by Mrs. Hollenbeck went toward
paying off the indebtedness on the lot.
In April 1886 the second floral festival
netted $4l00, and in October of that
year it was decided to be necessary to
build. The present building was com.
menced on October 10Th, 1886, and was
finished and the reception and opening of
the building held on March LIST. Seven
hundred guests were entertained, and
up to that time the building had cost
$l3, sos, of which all had been paid ex.
cept $5877 "a, The decoration of the
pavilion for the third festival began on
April 4th and this opened on April
18th.
This was very successful and con.
tinued two weeks. The profits were
sufficient to pay off the indebtedness for
building, but there remained some un-
furnished rooms. land to pay the indebt.
been held in the parlors of the society.
Since the opening of the exchange
building the receipts have been such as
to show that the society is self.support.
ing. and no anxiety need be felt for the
coming year.
Financial Secretary Mrs. Abernetby
reported th receipts Of the last festival
as $l1 .974 .33, and the total receipts dur.
ing the year were $l8,584.l4, which,
with the amount in hank at the begin
ming of the year, $4963. 30. made the
amount $23,5ll.44. The expenditures
were $22, 800. .95, leaving balance in
bank Of about $8l5. The bills outstand
ing, when paid, will leave q balance on
hand of about $500.
Mrs. Wheeler, business manager of |
the Exchange, stated that although il
had been in operation only about three
and one.half months and was sort of
an experiment, it had proven to be
success. 1t had started with thirteen
consigners and thirty-one subscribers,
and now II had sixty-seven consigners
and eighty-nine subscribers, with goods
on hand valued at el06O. The sales
during the three and ons-half months

An Economical LEGISLATURE.

The members of the present Arizona legis-
lature, besides doing their own committee
work, pay from their per diem enough to
hire necessary clerks for the session, congress
allowing only two clerks to each house and
prohibiting the employment of more. By
scrupulously obeying the Federal statute the
legislature saves to the territory $50, 900 spent
by its predecessors for clerk hire, printing
and other legislative expenses. The taxpay-
ing citizens are enthusiastic over the work of

GENERAL BoULANdER is certainly q
man of energy and ideas, even if some
of his escapades as duelist have
brought just ridicule upon him. Per-
haps, however, he has been in many
instances subjected to the shafts of
satire at the instance OF class OF
functionaries who are always opposed
to the genius which refuses to let
things run in the beaten track, and
has made enemies of that powerful
set in all military establishments who
resent innovation. He has steadily
pursued military policy looking to
the success of France in case of rup-
ture with Germany, and instead of
leaving things to their own motion
has Infused new life into the army by
promoting deserving subalterns over
the heads of officers who looked upon
their positions as sinecures. By a
policy, which has doubtless been
exasperating to the army fossils, he
has placed France in position to
accept hostilities when they come
with a good chance of success in the
first battle. If our advices are 10 be
relied upon, the new war, if it come,
will not open with Gravelotte and

EDITOR HERALD:-When the news of
the dynamite explosion at the Grand
Opera House, in San Francisco, reached
this city this morning it caused feeling
of nervousness among the members of
both Houses. Each one felt as if he was
in some degree responsible for the out
rage perpetrated, and not without some
foundation. If an attempt should be
made to blow up the Senate chamber it
might have the desired effect of recall
ing to the minds Of its members that
there is a large amount of very import
ant legislative work that ought to be at
tended to before the close of the session,
and that the people are getting anxious
to have something done other than ex-
pensive excursions and junketing trips.
For instance, there is the Irrigation bill,
that is of the utmost importance to the
people of the southern part of the State,
that should be considered at the earliest
and it is due to the Los An
geles delegation to q great degree that

THE eyes OF leading business mer
in other cities are watching intently
the phenomenal growth of Los Ange
les. They are awaking to the fact
that a great commercial metropolis
is destined to take root and flourish
here. Hence many OF the principal
houses in the United States are either
establishing branches in this city OF
starting entirely new enterprises.
We learned from undoubted authority
yesterday afternoon that the great
furniture house of Chadbourne d Co.,
in San francisco. had closed lease
for an immense five-story building to
be erected on Spring street, just be-
low the HERALD block; and that the
celebrated dry goods house OF Mar
shall 4 Field, in Chicago, have leased
Aesmer's new building, on the site of
the old United States Hotel, for a
branch establishment to be conducted
on . grand scale. Thus is Los Angeles
and her commercial actualities and
possibilities appreciated by the most
far-sighted and enterprising business
mcn Of the country.

IT seems that Mr.. Briefly has play
ed very ridiculous part in the de-
bate in Sacramento upon the Libel
Bill. He exhibited his thorough
know ledge OF Los Angeles journalism
by saying that all her newspapers
were piratical, and that he knew
whereof he spoke, for he had been
one OF the guild here himself. Very
strange that Mr.. Briefly, during his
notable career as journalist in Los
Angeles. should have discovered that
all his contemporaries were running
newspapers on rascally principles.
If they We're doing SO, that was the
time for him to turn his Iancinating
pen against them. But we have no
recollection that he did SO. Indeed,
we have no recollection that Mr..
Briefly ever figured as a genuine
newspaper man here at all. He did
edit little campaign dodger here foi
few weeks during the election ol
lS74-5, or thereabouts. We have q
distinct recollection that his bantline
was rather of the long-low-black
schooner order, but we did not then
believe, nor do we. now, that the
ethics Of that publication, however
amenable to Mr.. Brierly's present
criticism, were the sign and exemplar
of tip representative press of Los An
geles. Since that time there have
been pirates in the business, but their
false colors never have imposed up
on anybody. Mr.. Briefly is a very
good fellow as a general thing; but
ne carries in his Uranium an awfully
cantankerous maggot in party
matters,

We lad thought that the rain storm
was over. Two days of beautiful,
clear weather intervened to justify us
in this conclusion; but the skies
clouded up yesterday afternoon, and
last evening, about o'clock, they
precipitated their moisture upon us
in good volume. Whilst tits true oui
agriculturists could have got along
well without further heavy rainfall
yet the assurance which the new vista
ton gives us of at. least ten inches oi
rain for the season, is like taking a
bond OF fate in favor of one of the
best farming years we have ever had.

THE fact that speed is now a very
important consideration in war vessels
is recognized in the right way by
the House Committee on Naval
Affairs, when they propose to offer a
handsome bonus to the.b1ilders of the
new cruisers for every mile they can
run over the standard twenty. 1t is
proposed to give premium OF $780,
600 for the first mile in excess Of the
twenty, and for each additional knot
100000. This will stimulate our
naval contractors to do their utmost
to secure speed.

rhe HERALD a seven-Day Pape

The Herald a Seven-Day Paper.
Los Angeles has reached that stage
of populousness and business ad-
vancement which requires that her
chief newspaper should be found
upon the desks of its subscribers
every morning in the week. When
tho HERALD first made its appear
ance, fifteen years ago, our city, al
though seat of wealth and of COM
pAratively extensive business, was
not sufficiently metropolitan to require
that the morning newspaper should
sppear seven times week. 1t was
then a question whether it ought to
be omitted ON Sundays Or Mondays.
To publish on Mondays would neces-
state the sacrifice, by all connected
with it, of the universally recognized
day OF rest. To publish on Sundays and
omit Mondays accomplished a two
fold purpose. 1t gave its editors and
employees their Sundays to them
selves, and gave its hard-worked
Subscribers paper to read at their
leisure on the only day of the week
they had time to enjoy it as luxury.
Thus il came about that down to the
present time the HERALD has never
been published on the first business
day of the week. But the rapid de-
velopment Of our city's progress has
e length admonished us that, in
order to meet the business wants of
the community, we must make the
HERALD an everyday paper. Lead
ing journals IN all the large cities of
the Union have been compelled to
recognize this want, and hence it is
that all the great dailies in San Fran
cicso and Eastern cities have no day
Of rest throughout the year.
Tomorrow the UERALD will fall
into line, and thenceforth greet its
army of readers on Monday as
we'll as every other morning. In
order to do this we have made ar
rangements to issue as complete and
news-laden a paper every Monday as
We do on the other days. The HERALD
will publish full line of the very
latest news dispatches from all parts
Of the world, and its editorial and To-
cal columns will be alive to the issues
of the day and filed with accounts of
all the events transporting in our own
and other localities.
We need make no further announce
ment of the new departure at present.
Our readers who have felt the want
of their HERALD heretofore on Mon
day mornings, will be gratifisd that
the one days hiatus is to occur no
more, and although it will place
greater labor and heavier RESPONSE
bility upon our shoulders. we ACCEPT
the increased burthens cheerfully,
knowing that the friends of our paper
will appreciate them, and that the
progress Of the city of Los Angeles
will be sigualized by the enterprise
thus exhibited by her leading news
